Food Allergies . . . can’t live with ‘em, can’t seem to live without avoiding every food under the sun. And just when you figure out how to replace wheat and dairy with spelt and soy . . . well, soon enough you are allergic to spelt and soy. What is that?!?! It's annoying, that’s what it is!
Read MoreBones give our bodies structure and make movement possible. But for postmenopausal women in particular, natural changes in bone physiology can put freedom of movement at risk. Unfortunately, there is more to the story. Did you know that there is a higher risk of life-threatening events associated with the complications of Osteoporosis than with breast cancer?
Read MoreIrritability, insomnia and overall lack of well-being. Could it be Perimenopause? It’s the stuff that flies under the radar that ultimately takes us down. Perimenopause is the classic stealth life-wrecker. Why? Because the symptoms seem so vague, sometimes come on so slowly and are so often ignored by our gynecologists and primary care docs that we simply don’t know any better.
Read MoreCollagen promotes bone density and their ability to be more flexible - I like to call it "bouncy and bendy bones" which are better than brittle breakable bones. Promoting collagen production is enhanced when estrogen levels are healthy, nutritional building blocks and co-factors are present and more collagen = better skin, nails, hair, vessels and muscle too! This is on my short list of anti-aging strategies.
Read MoreLet’s compare that to the fact that the third-party-payer system (insurance) which drives healthcare trends, policies and practices... they don't pay for listening. Hmmm. That's a real disconnect. In fact, if an insurance-covered doctor were to listen (i.e., spend more than 7 minutes with a patient) all day long... and not get paid for that time... soon the math wouldn't work on paying the rent, nurses and administrative staff salaries and the doors would quickly close.

Read MoreStatins – can’t live with ‘em but can you live without ‘em? I would say “definitely"!
If the numbers are your challenge, there are natural health promoting ways to change them, dramatically and quickly, without all of the risks, dangers and side effects associated with statin drugs. (Statins may not be considered health promoting as they “cost the body in so many ways.") The best thing about this level of support, is that you are working with the cardiovascular system to help it work better, longer. Isn't that what it is all about, anyway?
This is the puzzled question I get from my patients when we discuss healthy estrogen metabolism. When you figure out how estrogen breaks down in the liver, you quickly learn that while the type of estrogen you take makes a big difference - what your body does with that estrogen, makes all difference in the world.
Read MoreIn the healthy woman, estrogen and progesterone (the two primary female reproductive hormones) exist in balance with one another. Estrogen dominance occurs when estrogen is not balanced in the body with enough progesterone. In this case there might be too much estrogen, too little progesterone, or both. There are many different health scenarios that may lead to this imbalance. Further, estrogen dominance is often closely associated with poor estrogen processing, which only adds to the problems and risks associated with estrogen dominance.
Read MoreDoing everything right and getting it all wrong? What if it’s not your fault? Let’s face it, some of us are eating less and exercising more and yet, our weight and energy continue to fall out of balance. What’s going on here? Why are you doing everything right and getting it so wrong? Why are you eating less and exercising more only to watch your weight and energy continue to fall out of balance?
